Dew

Overview
Dew [dü, dyü] is a main character and the deutaragonist of The Bandits of Alberion, and the leader of the

Bandits. Her weapon is the shifting demon Cerberus and she has several other acquired abilities from her ventures around Eigor.

Appearance
Dew has a young appearance, occasionally being mistaken for a child due to her wide eyes and short stature. She has light skin and messily chopped, short black hair, with uneven bangs and two longer strands of hair framing her face. When she is using them, she has four wings.

Dew is usually wearing a light blue skater dress that falls just below her knees, with a square neck and puffy, short sleeves, as well as a pair of short, black boots. She disguises her weapon Cerberus in the form of a pair of round, brown goggles, which she seldom actually wears over her eyes.

When Dew was younger, she usually wore simple dresses, typically blue. Her dark hair was much longer, noticeably tidier, and in a thick braid that made her look very similar to her mother. She also had a crested halo, like the other Archangels and members of the Angels' royal family.

When using Demon Vision, Dew's eyes would turn completely red, with slit pupils. In a more advanced form, she has spiky growths protruding from her legs and arms and claws similar to the Sin of Wrath.

During her time with Alastair, Dew's long hair was tied in a loose ponytail, and a bit messier. She occasionally wore fancy clothes, including a green and black dress with a checkered bodice and flowy, open-shoulder sleeves.

At some point in the story, Dew's clothing changes to a dark blue checkered top similar to the top of her green dress, paired with a dark blue skirt and black boots.

Personality
Dew is fun-loving, upfront, and unpredictable, often skipping or humming to herself. She likes to question her odds and challenge those who claim authority over her, often retorting or asking a question in response to them.

Dew also has a notable love for food and sweets, and she and Jude often "steal" food from bakeries and shops. Although, once she has the money, Dew doesn't hesitate to pay those she takes the food from. She also has a knack for cooking.

Dew wasn't always like this, as when she was younger and the next heir to the Angels' throne, she often displayed a dull and quiet nature opposite to her current character, nodding and submitting to any power authorizing over her, including her father. This changed once she met Alastair, several hundred years later, and centuries after his death, she vows to change her character for the better, resulting in her current personality.

Dew also displays a serious side, especially when in a fight. She takes battles seriously, and is constantly calculating her next move in a fight, no matter how simple it is.

Over the years, Dew's goals have changed. When she was cursed initially, she strived to kill herself, then bring down the Deity that cursed her. Her goal changed at long last to finding a way to undo her curse, live a peaceful and fulfilling life, and then die eventually.

Growing Up (1,200-1,130 Years Ago)
Dew was an illegitimate child born to a human woman, Lili, and Adonis, the Angels' ruler. Dew lived with her mother for a couple of years before being taken away by her father to the Angels' territory, leaving her no memory of her mother.

Because of the laws Ouranos had set, forbidding Angels and other races to fall in love and have children, Dew was a reminder of Adonis's own mistakes and often looked down upon by her father with disgust and a cold hatred. Her stepsisters and stepmother were also quite distant from her, and she was prohibited from mingling with other Angels below her rank, leaving her feeling very lonely and inadept at socializing with others.

As a result, Dew would often visit a forest on the outskirts of Angel territory once she was done with her studies and other tasks to go collect things and hang around. On one day, whilst on one of these mini escapades of hers, Dew meets and eventually befriends a demon girl, Ellon, and the two best friendsspend their days hanging out in the forest together, daydreaming, and learning new magic.

One day, Ellon decided to venture out to see the Angels' capital city for herself. Dew, who notices she's gone missing, goes to search for her but instead finds her dying at the hands of two Guardian Angels.

Unbeknownst to Dew, a Deity cursed her with Demon Vision and Rebirth during the chaos of processing her best friend's death. Because of her curses, Dew turned the tides of the ongoing war, eradicating the majority of the Angel clan and eventually leading them to their extinction. After Dew's father found out what had transpired, he exiled her from the Angels' territory forever, which eventually lead her to death.

Dew would learn that had no control over her Demon Vision abilities, and would often do things unconsciously that resulted in the deaths of thousands. She also learned that no matter what she did to kill herself, she would eventually rise again, one day. This ongoing cycle of death and being brought back to life drove Dew insane, and she distanced herself from other living beings out of fear of killing them.

600 Years Ago
After her Demon Vision activated again and caused her to destroy another city and kill several hundred of its inhabitants, Dew ended up collapsing from starvation, lack of sleep and dehydration. A young man by the name of Alastair, who was heading to the city to buy some materials, happened to find her, and upon noticing that she was still alive, took her to a doctor, and then his cabin to nurture her back to health.

Dew was wary of Alastair at first, but the two eventually bonded, and journeyed together to slay Beasts and protect the town they both called home. Upon learning about Dew's curse, Alastair forged a sword for her designed to contain her power. However, this happiness for the two didn't last for long, and an accident happened that caused Dew's sword to break, unleashing her wrathful power which resulted in Alastair's death. Soon after, Dew abandoned her sword and died as well.

450 Years Ago
Dew reawakened after dying several more times, and resolved to change her thoughts about her curse and her goal. An unspecified time later, she found the shape-shifting Demon Cerberus, and forced the wild creature into submission, making a pact with it in the process and using it as a replacement for the sword Alastair had made her over a century before.

12 Years Ago
Dew happened to visit a small village during her travels, and while staying there, the village was attacked by a Beast. Dew fought to protect the village, but the Beast managed to curse on a girl, something she expressed regret for happening.

Dew continued her travels near Alberion for the following years, eventually meeting Augustus and Jude along the way.
